Glad I could make you laugh, though.<br /><br />Thanks for all of the advice, I will take it under serious consideration. As for now I&#39;m hoping to avoid any type of catheter, as I think my problems urinating our emanating from an enlarged prostate. It seems that having MS doesn&#39;t exclude you from getting the typical ravages of aging. Seems like it should, but no such luck.<br /><br />Sounds like you are taking things relatively in stride, which is a good thing.

At times I can&#39;t sit here and help but wonder what I did to deserve this. Of course, I don&#39;t know any MS patients who deserve the disease.

I think these practices are especially prevalent in Eastern European and southern European areas.<br /><br />As for schmeckel&#39;s and geography, the Jews took Yiddish with them whenever they were chased out of one country or another, so they kind of took their geography with them. Unfortunately, yiddish is a dying language. Here in New York City in the early to mid 1900s, when there were still lots of people around from the old countries, yiddish was a flourishing language. There were even daily Yiddish newspapers and a thriving Yiddish theater scene. Now, sadly, almost all of that is gone.<br /><br />That said, I&#39;m sure there are regional words for the genitalia of both sexes. I love learning about regional dialects, although those too are now biting the dust due to the influence of mass media, which is creating a single American dialect. Even here in New York, I hardly ever hear the old thick New York accent, except when I&#39;m talking to my relatives…The Wheelchair Kamikazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897021799119917541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605254543761446258.post-65748535770763361222018-07-27T02:57:55.476-04:002018-07-27T02:57:55.476-04:00Glad you enjoyed it.

In my case, Willy has “gone the way of the dodo,” or something as such.<br />and ask your urologist about Sulfameth/Trimethoprim... my doc says cipro is child’s play...for what it’s worth.Michael B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14822149088270293370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605254543761446258.post-33219574677963620852018-07-25T17:21:55.328-04:002018-07-25T17:21:55.328-04:00Good lord Marc!
